Thank you John,
Amazing isn't it that just about up to the very end there still were Führerschule running and officers graduating.
Also up to the very end, many candidates were still selected, to be sent there. My C. O . told me that "if we had had more time," he would have considered sending me there. I wonder if i would have made it.
There must have been many C.O.'s who still believed that the war still could be won.
Oh well.
HN.

Interesting comments Hugo, but why would you want to attend officer school in 1945 after it should have been obvious to most people that the war was lost?

You are right John, but as I said "he made that remark" although he also confided that only a miracle could save his country.
As for me attending a Führerschule? I don't even know IF he really meant that, and/or if I would have qualified at all.
A good kradmelder/sanitäter helfer, does not necessarily a good officer make
Funny though, that after my incarceration, and subsequent being "re-citizenised"( I know there is no such word) in 1949,I was immediately drafted into the Royal Netherlands Army, and told by my C.O. that HE was going to send me to the Reserve Officers Training.
I liked the army, but also wanted to start a real life. So I declined, because of the extra time i would have had to actively serve. Was nevertheless sent to the "S.R.O." and within record time graduated as a noncom (Wachtmeester) . From there on into the automatic reserve, where I became an Opperwachtmeester titulair ( acting Sgt.Major) From thereon my whole battery transferred out into the uniformed Civil Defense, and became a "Hoofdwachter" (? Head guards-man ) Fuzzy rank.
So who knows. But all's well that ends well, If that all had transpired, I never would have come to the good ole USA.
So "somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good" (sound of music)

Is there more information about Alfred Jacobs?
This name is very common in the low-countries (Belgium and the Netherlands).

Hello
I noticed that no soldier was transferred from SS-Pz.Gren.Ers./Ausb.Btl.11 to Klagenfurth.
How is this possible?
